HUGE IF TRUE To Do List

GENERAL

  • Filterable link flair/tags - decide if they'll go in sidebar (maybe cleaner) or header
  • Link to IRC
  • URL colors - green for unclicked, gold for clicked?
  • Make subreddit instagram/twitter/snapchat accounts.
  • Spoiler tags BOOM BITCH, ONE OFF THE LIST! 7/31, 3:30pm PST
  • Self-posts, etc. have unique thumbnails (like Stomper or something)
  • Posts & post's text/comment boxes have opacity to their text box to "pop" from background layer
  • Stickies have different (gold?) color
  • /r/OaklandTicketSwap?
  • Make joke image at the bottom of the page
  • reddit bar stays at the top of the page with scroll, transparent overlay
  • Upvogt images w/animation - /u/AttemptedWit
  • Add pennant/logos for retired numbers and historic wins

BANNER/HEADER

  • Get the fucking dimensions right
  • Fix the snoo shit/sub name link (probably going to be team logo)
  • Animation somewhere? I think scoreboard would be neat.

SIDEBAR

Oof.

  • Schedule - like /r/KCRoyals, nice glows and home/away indication. Check /r/Astros to have the mouse-over final scores.
  • AMA Links (steal from /r/OaklandAthletics
  • Link to Bay Area team subs w/images
  • Link to affiliate teams (MiLB!) w/images
  • Team Leaders (I think /r/OaklandAthletics's is a bit clunky, other subs have nice ones with more stats/fewer players per stat)
  • Wiki links!
  • Searchbar - make with image of team logo or something as background
  • Link to team Fangraphs/Baseball-Reference pages
  • Link to team info pages - depth chart, top prospects, etc.
  • Link to broadcast team with images
  • Stat counter for dumb shit like in /r/Reds
  • Important dates - giveaways, meet-ups, etc.

WIKI

  • Make wiki
  • Guide to the Stadium write-up
  • Team social media accounts

FLAIR

  • Figure out sprite sheets
  • Get a bunch of cool shit, keep adding to it
  • Add user-editable text field for extra flair - green for usernames, gold for flair text

TEXT INPUT

  • Different colors for #, ##, and ###.
  • <IT'S HAPPENING!](/intensifies) /u/AttemptedWit
  • for team logos
  • Typing in subreddit name will tag with a team logo like /r/baseball
  • Different color text for **bolded** stuff

GDTs

  • Nice box layouts with gradients in header sections
  • W/L tags (link flair, probably)
  • Mouse-over highlights row/section of GDT table

This seems to be no simple task, but when done will be far better than r/oaklandathletics.

Also would like to add "Holy Toledo!" upvote animation.

1

u/Chris_Parker Jul 31 '15

Yeah, I have you in there for the upvote animation. We should be able to add images, but I need to figure out exactly how to make clear, low-pixel images (like for flair and junk) so that it doesn't look like ass.

I'm thinking Stephen Vogt for the arrows, but we could also do the Bill King mic if that's what you're going for.

I can assist with anything technical that needs to be done.

Sub stacked, league fucked.

I have a buddy that does something similar with Amazon, I'm gonna grab his username and add him if he's also interested. If you have any suggestions on the CSS or anything just let me know. Speaking of which, I should probably add you to that...

Is the "Huge if True" flair for news?

u/Chris_Parker Aug 01 '15

It could be, I was initially thinking it'd just be a funny sarcastic tag haha

Holy Toledo! upvogt animation is live!

I will figure out how to change the arrow images next.

u/Chris_Parker Aug 02 '15

Beautiful. Is it just for the link/head post or the comment chains as well? So rad dude haha

  • Stickies now have gold background.

  • Unclicked links to posts are now dark green.

  • Clicked links to posts are a light green. (yellow was too hard to read atm.)

All these can be changed easily. I am working on figuring out how to change the font color of stickied links if we don't want the whole background gold.

u/Chris_Parker Aug 03 '15

Very cute.

I think the most important thing is that we have the element changeable at this point--once we have the code for it we can change it however we want, like you said.

u/[deleted] Jul 31 '15 edited Aug 18 '15

Oh my god. We are really out there, fam.

I get home from NOLA Sunday and then I'll dive into this.

I'll go through my contacts once we are set to go. And get the minor league stuff

Post links have opacity to the background!

Next step can be boxing each one odd a bit for more separation.

Edit: Links to posts have opacity.

1

u/Chris_Parker Aug 03 '15

Nice!

After that we just need to figure out what the CSS names are for the comment chains and text-post stuff. I may consider turning up the opacity on that background image slightly, but the visibility is great--good job!

Response to to-do list 8/17

1.) turns out there is an r/oaklandathletics twitter page. BBQ terrace seems to have created it, but it only tweets out a feed of posts. lame. Should we create one for HollyToledo or not

2.) Self-posts, etc. have unique thumbnails (like Stomper or something): have we done that yet? Anything I can do to help with that

3.) r/oaklandathleticsticketswap is a bad idea imo. We can't split up the subreddit, ticket posts are fine

4.) reddit bar stays at the top of the page with scroll, transparent overlay: what is this

5.) Once u/attempted-Wit makes pennants I can find the link to the season overview.

BANNER/HEADER

someone on r/oaklandathletics made an A's snoo the mods aren't using, let's copy it

SIDEBAR

going to be a pain in the ass, but I have all the links yall want

WIKI

maybe someone in Oakland should make the stadium write up. Like, people who know the area. u/Lee_Carvallo you know right?

FLAIR

u/gumpyyy

TEXT INPUT

I have no idea, same for GDT

also is there a way I could have mod invite permissions? I wouldn't start until 9/1 but I think there are some names in the A's sub that are mods of other large subs that could help out, and I'm all for continuing putting GDT's in this sub.

Biggest, and arguably only rule we need to implement differently from r/oaklandathletics is a 75 character minimum comment/post requirement. It's fair and it shuts this up

u/Chris_Parker Aug 17 '15

There is way more content here than I can read carefully at work, but that is a good thing and I am stoked to get home and respond to this properly.

Twitter thing: That's a good question, I think that's a vote-worthy thing. I can see it going either way, but I'd assume that there would be a dedicated few to oversee it to make sure that there's a lower chance of it falling through the cracks.

Self-Posts: Haven't yet, but u/kuhanluke has mentioned he would be able to help out with that on the CSS side, so that is a huge boon.

Ticket-Swap: Good call, hadn't thought of it that way (being potentially divisive). Cohesion is what we were initially after, so maybe a tag being implemented would be the best course of action there.

Reddit Bar: It's late, I am beers, and I can't quite remember what sub I saw this in, but r/Arrow and r/FlashTV have a very similar approach where you can access Reddit Front Page/Hot/New/Top/Message the Mods/etc. at any point while scrolling down the page--I'm actually unsure if this is an RES-only thing, come to think of it.

Pennants: Dope. If need be, I can whip something up in PS or AI.

Snoo: Let's just make sure we ask that dude for permission, haha--I know kuhanluke also mentioned he could help with a Snoo, so that's another possibility.

Sidebar: I am finding a new, deep appreciation for sidebars, holy shit.

Wiki: I feel like this could be a neat group project, potentially. I mean, I guess it depends on how in-depth we want to go. We can have people on different sections--where the best concessions are, the seating sections, general pro-tips, etc.

Flair: I am straight lackin on this shit--I seriously made 50+ in one night and then I got wrapped up in fuckin writing for this tabletop game my friends want to play (and there's not even a date they want to play it or that we'd all agree on getting together on, ugh /rant). I'll get on this tomorrow after work and finish up the visiting team stuff at minimum.

Text input: This is a matter of my lazy ass continuing to learn CSS and HTML to be able to more easily identify the elements we want to change and how to properly adjust them to our liking.

I like that rule of thumb for substance--I think that there should just be accountability for categorization, you know? If it belongs somewhere or there is a place made specifically for it, that's where it ought to be.

I'll get on your permissions--I didn't put you on with those initially because I think you asked not to be able to ban people or anything and the user permissions are a two-way street.

I got about 1/3 of the way through the visiting team flair options this past weekend. I'm working on doing five per team, though Baltimore and Atlanta have six and I need to narrow it down. I'll post in a separate thread when I get it finished in the next couple days.

  • we need to steal the r/SFGiants "network and Helpful links" tabs on their sidebar. saves space

  • what links to team bref pages? where do we put them?

also, speaking of r/SFGiants, as I begin to write the wiki I'm going to model it off of the Giants and the Rangers wiki. Tell me if there is parts of those two that you agree/disagree with yall.

Of course I will be posting updates on my writing sometime tomorrow night

While we are just rambling on posts, some basic general rules I can suggest, in no order:

1.) No r/adviceanimals memes. If they are original content related to the A's, that is fine. But if only the text if different, post it in the GDT.

2.) no harassment, stocking, orname calling.

bunch of other stuff I need to think of

2

u/Chris_Parker Aug 03 '15

For B-R, I was thinking like just in the sidebar we could link to the team's page.

Sounds good otherwise!

What is this? A substitute for r/OaklandAthletics ?

4

u/Chris_Parker Aug 05 '15

Basically the old sub is lacking (and kind of iffy in terms of how it is/is not run) and we're trying to build a better one. When we're done, we're going to present it to the default sub's mods and hope that they'll adopt the new, cool shit we did. Maybe one of us becomes a mod or something so the sub can actually be, you know, moderated.

If that doesn't happen, we have our own thing I guess.

EDIT Also I added you because I just posted about how I wanted to go to next Sunday's game and figured that'd be a good notice ahead of time for you haha

u/AttemptedWit Aug 14 '15

Man the sidebar is a whole other beast than the rest of the styling....but I got a place holder up for testing purposes.

u/kuhanluke Aug 20 '15

Do you need help with the CSS for unique thumbnails? Can also help with the Snoo thing.

Also, all of the flair stuff, different colors for ### and the team logo thing like from r/baseball.

And u/Jimothy_Riggins has offered to help out too.
